- full refers to a heterotetrameric glycoprotein.
- An intact antibody is composed of two identical heavy chains (HCs) and two identical light chains (LCs) linked by covalent disulphide bonds. This H 2 L 2 structure folds to form three functional domains comprising two antigen-binding fragments, known as ‘Fab’ fragments, and a ‘Fc’ crystallisable fragment.
- the Fab fragment is composed of the variable domain at the amino-terminus, variable heavy (VH) or variable light (VL), and the constant domain at the carboxyl terminus, CH1 (heavy) and CL (light).

- the majority of antibodies in the serum belong to the IgG class, there are four isotypes of human IgG (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4), the sequences of which differ mainly in their hinge region.
- Fully human antibodies can be obtained using a variety of methods, for example using yeast-based libraries or transgenic animals (e.g. mice) that can produce repertoires of human antibodies. Yeast presenting human antibodies on their surface that bind to an antigen of interest can be selected using FACS (Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting) based methods or by capture on beads using labelled antigens. Transgenic animals that have been modified to express human immunoglobulin genes can be immunized with an antigen of interest and antigen-specific human antibodies isolated using B-cell sorting techniques. Human antibodies produced using these techniques can then be characterized for desired properties such as affinity, developability and selectivity. In some aspects, alternative antibody formats can be used.
